The Color Purple

Nov. 8

The reason why I choose this novel was because I am a very practical person. I just finished reading this book a few weeks ago and it is still very fresh in mind. Plus, I can't stop thinking about the story.

These are a very rough sketches of words and images that come to my mind while thinking about this book.

I have been playing around with a few concepts. Below are 2 sketchs and more to come:

The flower is about being a female and is sad because it has struggled to stay alive. I drew some light rays but I lighten the image too much, that it kinda erased.

The second sketch represents two different people reaching out for each other. The symbolism is distance, being so close to someone yet so far. Or It can be racism, the hands could be of different colors.
